Yes! While I wouldn’t say they are necessarily “dangerous”, it’s true that people used to be afraid of Eclipses. They were seen as a warning sign.

As far as I know, eclipses are not meant for spellwork or manifestation. Instead we just **sit back, relax and reflect**.

Eclipses only occur once in a while so it’s a good opportunity to look back at the past 6-12 months. Whether it’s about lessons learned or wishes that came true, we clear the path and open ourselves to new things that will come our way.

Follow this [**Lunar Eclipse Candle Ritual**](https://spells8.com/lunar-eclipse-ritual/) to explore your Shadow during the eclipse

Having said this, **everyone’s path is different** and you may have a different interpretation.

Some Witches see the lunar eclipse as a full cycle (Moon appearing and disappearing) 🌒🌕🌘 in one night so that gives it a very special power.

If you really want to cast a spell during the lunar eclipse, I would recommend something related to closing a cycle, like a [**Cord-Cutting Ritual**](https://spells8.com/wiccan-cord-cutting-spell/) or a [**Spiritual Cleanse**](https://spells8.com/magic/spells/spiritual-cleanses/) to mark the beginning of something new.
